Digital Collage, Photography, Palmistry art book design: the book of diversion
Welcome to David Bircham’s Silent Album Blog. Documenting my process of digital collage and the design of a book surrounding a Victorian hand-written manuscript on the art of palmistry. Images from my ephemera, object and photography collections.
I bought this amazing document in Florence. A Vatican passport from the time of Pope Gregory XVI (1765 – 1846). I have used a portion of this in the collage Dr. Henry Landor. The reverse side is equally as interesting with all the stamps and writing.
